Geneforge 4's quests run the gamut from simple fetch or kill assignments to multi-part adventures that run over a large portion of the game. Vogel writes descriptive, evocative text that introduces the characters and situations with style and wit almost like having a skilled Game Master describing a scene in a pen-and-paper game. Dialogue is an important part of the game, with many important encounters moved forward through conversation. The dialogue choices available and the outcome from certain options can change with the character's leadership skill for example, tasked with dealing with a bandit group that has cut off a town's trade routes, characters with a low leadership skill will likely find diplomacy fails and combat is inevitable, while those with a higher leadership ability may have additional dialogue options that open up other avenues.
